Build quality is far superior on tha Sag. Are these engines still an issue or did they get it sorted by 2003/4/5/6?

Sorry to hear your Tamora build quality wasn't very good. When I bought my Tamora I had a look side by side with a Sagaris and the build quality was very good on both (2005). So I chose the Tamora as the roof off option was my preference.

Hope you enjoy the Sagaris!

[jo5eph]

Im not saying it wasnt good but there were basic things that spoiled the car. Door and boot lid rubbing against body, glove box lock was a poor design. Roof was poor in my opinion and for £37k it wasnt put together well enough. Whereas the Sag feels like its built by Porsche. The Tam did however go like stink :-)

I should also add that it was a 2002 model, the 05 Tam is probably a better build?

Hi Joe,

So how are you getting on with your new toy - is this it by the way?

Incidentally, my old Tam is back on the market having had the 3.6 replaced by a Tuscan 4.0 Red Rose...

Hi Jimmy,

Yes thats the one, in the same colour as your old Tam. Hasnt got the beautiful mulberry leather tho. Its black with red trim :-) Im very impressed with the Sag m8, to put it mildly its brutal and also insane. Build quality very good too.

[TGJR]

I'm thinking of a Sagaris too! One concern is the ground clearance - have you grounded out the front or back yet? How does it drive compared to the Tamora (I also had a 2002 model that was moderate build quality!)

[jo5eph]

Its so different from the Tam bud. Handling is far superior, obviously its quicker and better build than an 02 Tam as well.
The Sag I bought has been raised 10mm but is still very low. Havent had any probs yet with ground clearance but give it time.

Must admit I am thinking of changing from a Tam to a Sag. I do love the roof off motoring with the Tam, but I LOVE the look of the Saggy. Apart from the handling and slight acceleration difference, what else is the main difference? Is it worth the change? Cheers.

[jo5eph]

There were a few things I wanted that I didnt have on the Tam. I wanted a newer car, better build quality and air con. But I wanted to stay with TVR having briefly thought about the prancing horse. One other bonus with the Sag is I found it a fair bit quieter in the cabin that the Tam. For no other reason that its a hard top. I can honestly say it feels as solid as my Boxster S but lighter and quicker.

What Ive learned about the Sag is its the same deal as a 911, a Ferrari or an Aston. Its a car that you must own once during your life time.
